She had been in delicate health for several years,
and during the last few months sank rapidly under
the wasting influences Of consumption, which she
endured with patience and herosm that gave as
surunce to all about that she rested implicitly upon
the strong arm of her Saviour. AS she was nearing
the portals of eternity, and the soul was about to
wing its flight to Heavenly mansions, her face
frightened and she exclaimed, with tender pathos

western maryland Railroad Report


At the monthly meeting of the directors of
the Western Maryland Railroad Company,
held Wednesday at Hillen Station, Baltimore,
the report of President Hood of the opera
tions of the road for the year ended Septem-
Der 80, was presented. The earnings of the
main line and Baltimore and Cumberland
Valley Railroad shows handsome increase.
The Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway,
which was acquired November l, 1856, fig
ures for the first time in the report of the
Western Maryland. The total gross earnings
of the Western Maryland main line and
branches were $756,6l0 6S, the operating ex
penses, $I55, ,79S 66, and the net earnings
$500, ,8l2 OF. The matter of the redemption
of the first and second mortgage call bonds
and the funding certificates is shown to have
progressed nearly to completion.
The suggestion is made of the advisability
of extending the Baltimore and Harrisburg
Railway to Blue Ridge Summit, on the main
line, distance of fifteen miles. This would
supply second line from Emory Grove to
Blue Ridge Summit. The Western Maryland
paid to the Baltimore and Potomac and
Northern Central S76, 791.49 for the use of
their tracks in Baltimore. This heavy charge
is Justly characterized as onerous. The build
ing of an inexpensive branch from near Fulton
Station to a connection with the Baltimore Il
Ohio Railroad and to tidewater on the south
side of the city is recommended. This would
enable the company to add to its traffic large
amount of business which is now shut out by
the charge of 40 cents per ton trackage be-
tween Fulton and Canton.

from diptheria. Others of his children, who
had the disease, have recovered.
Joseph Caple has recently had his new barn

Miss Nellie Gorsuch, of Baltimore county,

duties last Monday. u.r
Mrs. Aldrich, of New York city, spent
several days this week with Mrs. Algernon
Tillard.
On Sunday last Rev. S. B. Hammond,
President of the Maryland NJ. P. Conference,
preached at 10 O'Clock in the morning, at
Sandy Mount; in the afternoon at O'Clock,
at Providence, and at 7.30 in the evening at
Mt. Zion. At all three churches there were
large congregations to meet him. AT the last
named service, Rev. w. ]. Floyd, pastor, re-
ceived FIVE members into the church on pro-
baton, they having prolessed a change of
heart during the revival meetings at the church
the previous week. These meetings were
continued this week and will probably be
kept up for sometime as there is much interest
manifested.
The ladies of Sandy Mount church gave
an oyster supper on the nights of the 18th,
18th, 10Th and 22d. We have not heard what
amount was realized, but judging from the
attendance, suppose it was quite upto expec-
tations.
Rev. George McCready and wife have been
spending some time in the neighborhood.

would be unable to reach their homes on
Thanksgiving day, and having very vivid
recollection of the longing desire that used to
fill his soul, when student, for the good
things usually served on such occasions at

furnished by the caterer. If, however, such
was the case with the students of Western

WEST PARIS, March IA,

from the ledge of s. B. Curtis and Chester
Pickett, about one mile from West Paris.
These rocks are cut into blocks to form an
underpinning for tower. in connection with
their fertilizer manufactory at North Wey-
mouth, Mass. This rock requires very hard
drills. Last Saturday afternoon. two of the
workmen, A. ID. Wing and Lester NJ Besse
drilled hole in the rock. This they charged
but i, failed TO explode, and rather than to
drill another hole they adopted the danger
Gus practice of attempting to drill out the
charge; but as they approached the powder,
the charge exploded, striking Mr.. Wing in
the face and head and burning and lascerst
ing his face badly. MIR. Besse suffered the
most. The discharge blew him from his
place. some little distance, filing his ewes and
face with powder and dirt His arms were
badly burned and lascerated from his elbows
to his hands, and nearly denuded of skin :;
one hand wss badly injured and one ankle
severely sprained.
